The John Hollister Site (54-85) is a large 17th-century farm complex
located on the fringe of early English settlement on the Connecticut River
in present-day South Glastonbury, Connecticut. The farm was occupied
from about 1650 to 1711, first by members of the Gilbert family, who were
tenant farmers, and later by the Hollisters. The site was identified through
oral history and remote sensing work that was carried out in 2015 and
2016. Excavations at the site were conducted in the summers of 2016-
2021 under the direction Connecticut State Archaeologists Brian Jones
(2016-2018), Nicholas Bellantoni (2019) and Sarah Sportman (2021), with
members of the Friends of the Office of State Archaeology, volunteers, and
field school students. The Hollister Site includes at least six buried cellars,
two wells, and numerous other subsurface features as well as large, well-
preserved assemblages of artifacts and food remains. This presentation will
summarize the research conducted at the site to date, including new
information from the 2021 field season.
